Trump’s officially bored with his war, bored with his job. Too hard now.

Bored is good. Bored and stroked is better.

Oh, good. So glad the Moron in Chief is well occupied. Otherwise he might do something stupid, like starting a war.

Bored, stroked, heart-attacked and falling down AF1 stairs is just right.

Amazing that the ducks have not moved after all of those years :rofl:
I am also surprised that they neglected to photoshop the sky…

Too bad, there were some great moments over the years, but…

As always, ETTD.

Henry wanted a title from the Pope. The French King got the title “The Most Christian King.” The Spanish King got “The Most Catholic King.” Henry wrote “In Defense of the Seven Sacraments”. That’s how he got the title Defender of the Faith.

I guess when Joe Biden was (very publicly) denied communion, he should have ordered federal agents to throw a priest to the ground and criticized Pope Francis to get the cowed response the nation’s Catholics are affording this fucking disrespectful bastard.

Hegseth, too.

Laura Loomer, a Trump ally and political activist, posted a response: “Yah is everyone just now finding out that most of the men in DC are closeted homosexuals?”

Uh, no Laura. The reason no men will date you isn’t because they are gay.

Much to do much to do. I found this interesting, mostly for the new nickname Plastered Pete. It also made me realize; we should call it call it the Straits of Herradura, but that would probably offend the locals.

I’m not watching the sick fuck BOMB. And it won’t be like when Stephen Colbert “bombed” – the room may not have been receptive, but it was one of the best routines out there. It’s right up there with Seth Meyers (making a bin Laden joke), and President Obama smacking the sick fuck upside the head in 2011 – all while planning the Abbottabad raid.

Trump and Epstein photos projected onto the hotel before correspondents’ dinner+++

President Donald Trump’s ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were reportedly highlighted in a video projected onto a hotel hosting the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner this weekend.

Aaron Parnas posted a two-minute clip on X on Friday, saying a video “highlighting Trump’s relationship with Epstein is being displayed on the side of the building where Trump will attend the dinner.”

According to the clip posted by Parnas, the video montage includes clips and photos of Trump with Epstein as well as images of heavily redacted documents from the Epstein files.

It also includes an email that was sent by Epstein to author Michael Wolff in 2019, where he referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked.”

The Old Testament is the first refuge of the reluctant Christian.

(Admittedly “love one another as you love yourselves” is a nearly impossible standard for most people (myself included,) but it is a worthy goal to which good people can aspire. The lazy and dark-hearted retreat to language lawyering and moral arbitrage.)

Forgot this:

As some of you may recall have I criticize the non-revanchist Christian denominations in the past for effectively allowing their message to be coopted by the fascists. I’m glad to see that more openly changing, and frankly for their sake and ours I hope it’s not too late.

ETA, the distinction of Christian and Catholic in an English news source does smack of denominational prejudice.

I prefer the pool with algae. That pool has life. Besides the algae, probably water striders, diving beetles, dragonfly nymphs. That pool is an ecosystem. The pool depicted on the right is decorative in its sterility.
